Hi Amisha,
Being born in a General Category and that too in India is now officially a taboo. Nobody gets a good college, nobody gets even the normal assessment of his or her talent if he or she has been born in a general category. So, one word - God help u here.
I am not the correct person to guide you through the marks required to get into NITs and SPAs because eventually, it all depends on the number of students giving the JEE and the decision cutoff set by the scrutinizes.
But for you specially, the climb to the top is very high. To get into NITs or even dream to get there, you have to score pretty much better than all the other category candidates and even the general category candidates.
Just Aim for the highest you potentially can achieve and leave everything to the hands of the Board of Education In India.

However the perception of the architect plays a major role in shaping the sport arenas.

Hi Nidhi,
No, you cannot do architecture with a Bachelor's degree in Information technology. Architecture and that too for a master's degree require a lot many basics and if you have done bachelor's in civil you can still do it but not with other field. How much exposure can one have in architecture with bachelors in Information technology? Do you know any basics of Architecture? If you think that by googling everything you know architecture then you are thinking wrong, architecture is a very artistic field and there are many skills require for it, you need to develop them and the only way you can do is Bachelor in Architecture or B.Arch.

Hi Nidhi,
In the US, in order to maintain an architectural licenses, we are required to attend a certain number of continuing education programs per year. These are open to anyone, not just licensed architects. Many companies have gone into business to offer these courses, and to make money off of them. While these can be good courses, some of them are expensive. A better way is to check with your local AIA to see what continuing education programs they offer. Also, once a year the AIA has a national convention that lasts 3 days, and these are packed with continuing education courses. While there is a registration fee for these, it's still a great value because of the number of courses available.
This year the convention will be in Atlanta on May 14-16. These conventions are a great way to see what the latest issues are facing architects, and how various architects and firms are addressing these issues. Check out the web site at convention.aia.org for more details. If you are an AIAS member and a Student, the cost is only $25. If you are a "Young Professional" (meaning not-licensed), it's $350. If you are out of school and a non-member the cost is $575. It's well worth joining your local AIA as an AIAS or as a young professional. It's also a good way to network and meet other professionals from around the country.
These continuing education courses won't address your need for more skills on BIM or CAD. Usually the best way to get these skills is to either diligently work through the tutorials on your own, or to take a course through a local community college. Learning to use BIM or CAD commands and actually using these programs for a project can be very different. Look for instructors who are professionals and who use the software in their work. They are usually the best instructors and they'll pass along tips for things you'll need to know when you're drawing on a project.
Learning is a life long activity, especially these days. Software and Technology are changing daily, and we must always take responsibility to keep up or we'll get left behind.
